Check out the Thermoskin Open Knee Support for a lighter weight but larger sized option.

I followed the instructions for measuring my knee around the center and ordered a regular based on a 16" knee. When it arrived the knee part felt fine but my thigh was too large for it to even begin to connect to the Velcro. I am now in the process of trying to figure out what size to try next...large or extra large. The quality of the brace seems to be very good and of course, how can you beat Amazon's excellent service!

This newer model with 2 braces on the sides is tight and has not stretched out like the shorter one brace older model. A large fits a 16 inch knee fine.

No knee pad but the one it comes with will pretty much fit any part of the body. We have used it for the knees, elbows, back, shoulders, ankles and wrist. It does come with a very sturdy Velcro strap.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, as the picture of the knee brace readily shows how to wear this (wider part above the knee, lower part below). My best guess at this is that you're asking about the gel portion of the brace? If so, that should encircle the knee cap (so that the top/center of the knee cap is NOT covered)

No they are not. If they did you would not get the knee support it offers. If you want and need a knee brace that works these braces are what you're looking for. If for some reason you have trouble getting tight items on your legs I would look elsewhere!

Yes you can, but I would only buy this if you are wearing some other knee brace on top of it, since this one will roll/slide down your thigh within a few minutes. I got this as a replacement for a bulkier knee brace but end up using it under the of one since that one keeps this up, but this one feels more form fitting.

I got one and noted I needed a medium... this brace is VERY large.... It will wrap around my thigh almost twice... I measured 6 inches above mid patella and measured a 20 1/2...

I have osteoarthritis of both knees with bony spurs in my left knee with hardly any cartilage in both knees. Mueller High Performance Hinged knee braces are the only ones out of many different ones I have tried that is the easiest to put on and takeoff, the most comfortable, and brings me the greatest relief from pain. Maybe it will be helpful for a meniscus tear.

You don't need to step into this product. There is a simple velcro fastener. The additional straps are to tighten the brace. I have found the brace to be comfortable, but a little warm after a few hours. However, it is cooler than other braces I have worn.

There are finger loops on each side of the top of the brace to help you pull it on. It fits snugly, so it requires a little bit of strength to pull it up and over your knee, but nothing much. After that, there are two velcro straps. Use of the side hinges is optional. I found that one worked better for me than two, and sometimes I don't use one at all and the brace still provides good support.

I've not tried it, but it looks like "Essential Medical Supply Knee Walker Pad Cover" from Amazon should work just fine. It may not be an adequate solution, though, if you have anything seriously wrong with the knee.

I would NOT use this brace for varicose problem unless you check with your dr. A gradual tightness via ace wrap would probably be better. I think this could be too tight.....these run small. I haven't been able to wear my medium one and do not have large legs . I.e. I am 5'4" and weigh 130#.

Good luck getting a size that fits. The measuring charts from Mueller are not accurate. My knee measures 17 inches. I am 6' 1" with an average build. A Large will not even close at the back. Because of this it has been a real pain in the neck ordering/returning/reordering at my expense. The brace is good for the price but Mueller provide bad measuring criteria. Better that you find a store that carries the brace and try it on before buying.

The open patella style knee brace seems to lock it in place on the knee for me. Others that I tried without the open patella would ride up or down depending on what I was doing and bunch up under the knee which was very uncomfortable. By the way I LOVE my pair of open patella braces. Great support for my Arthritic knees.

I use a Velcro one. I don't have arthritis but I only have the use of one hand, so the pull-on braces are harder for me and the Velcros are easier. Hope this helps!

On this brace, I have a 20" knee and the 2X was too big, the XL was just right. I hope this helps.
